Now, some of these posts won't be very long, nor detailed, based on my general interest in a place.  The chain of Iron Hill Breweries falls in line with that notion.  I have a good friend who lives in Media, PA (about 30 minutes from downtown Philly), and when ever I'm in the area I usually try and grab a few drinks with them.  Media is a very nice little town with a great Main St. (which is actually called State St.) and the Iron Hill brew pub is a prominent feature in the middle of quite a few restaurants, bars, and shops downtown.  The down side to the prime location is that parking is a pain.  There is a Trader Joes next door, but the parking lot specifically states it's for that store only.  Parking is a pain, and there it likely a walk involved, but a spot can be found after a few loops around the blocks.  Iron Hill acts primarily as a restaurant, so take it as such.  They have decent beers (roughly 10 on tap), plenty of seating, a large bar room, and a nice patio on the side.

A nice place, but not a brewery one should seek out as a specific trip.
